Carson Hocevar Furious at Pocono, Calling Series a 'Joke' and Calling Out Series Director
Carson Hocevar Furious at Pocono, Calling Series a 'Joke' and Calling Out Series Director originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Just days after Carson Hocevar found himself in the middle of a controversy and Spire Motorsports fined him $50,000 for his critical remarks of Mexico, the 22-year-old driver was in yet another controversy on Friday in Pocono after he delivered a stinging critique of the NASCAR Truck Series and its managing director for not knowing the rules.

The Cup Series regular — who called Mexico a [expletive] on a Twitch stream and was penalized for it with the fine and a mandatory trip to sensitivity training — was driving the No. 7 truck at The Tricky Triangle and in the third position on the outside row behind the leader Corey Heim heading into a restart with 19 laps to go.
Carson Hocevar looks on during practice at Pocono Raceway.However, the No. 11 team, which has had some crazy bad luck this season and still won four races, had another date with misfortune when coming to the green it suffered a flat right-rear tire. The driver pulled to the far outside and dropped to the back of the field.
The No. 34 of Layne Riggs in second and on the inside row assumed the lead and was the control truck going to the green, which Kevin Harvick, to his credit, clearly noted on the Fox broadcast.

NASCAR initially said the restart was under review before confirming the the No. 7 Spire truck's penalty.
Hocevar strongly disagreed and called for his team to challenge the ruling. 'What a joke!' he said over the team radio.
'Yes sir, series is becoming a joke, copy,' his spotter replied.
'Good job, Seth,' the driver derided a few seconds later, taking aim at Truck Series Managing Director Seth Kramlich.
After running out the final 19 laps and finishing 13th, Hocevar was still frustrated and probably more so considering Riggs won the race.
'Should have won,' he said over the radio. 'Can't help that somebody doesn't know the rules.'

He's right and based on NASCAR's decision, that somebody just happens to be him.

Aaron Nesmith puts Chet Holmgren on poster with insane putback
The post Aaron Nesmith puts Chet Holmgren on poster with insane putback appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Pacers will be facing elimination following their 120-109 Game 5 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. One thing the Pacers have going for them is Game 6 will be on their home court. And in the midst of the Pacers trying to spark a late rally in Game 5, Aaron Nesmith had one of the highlights of the night with an insane poster dunk on Thunder big man Chet Holmgren. Advertisement Aaron Nesmith's poster dunk on Chet Holmgren came late in the fourth quarter as the Pacers trailed the Thunder by double digits. The dunk cut the Thunder lead to 120-105 with about two and a half minutes remaining. But the Pacers would only score two more points the rest of the way and would fall despite the Thunder not scoring any points from that point on. If the Pacers want to keep their season alive and extend the NBA Finals to deciding Game 7, they'll need strong production from players like Nesmith. He gave the Pacers a solid performance in Game 5 finishing with 14 points, six rebounds and one steal while shooting 5-of-9 from the field and 4-of-5 from the three-point line in a little over 24 minutes. His poster dunk on Holmgren was the only non three-point shot he hit. During the Pacers playoff run so far, Nesmith had been averaging a playoff career-high 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists with splits of 47.9 percent shooting from the field, 49.1 percent shooting from the three-point line and 87.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line. Now in his third season with the Pacers, Nesmith has developed into one of the Pacers' most dependable role players on both ends of the court. This season, he shot a career-high 43.1 percent from the three-point line. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Nesmith was acquired by the Pacers in a trade with the Boston Celtics ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Rafael Devers goes 0-for-5 in first game vs. Red Sox since blockbuster trade
When the Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, they did it knowing they would be facing their disgruntled former player in just five days. That game arrived on Friday. Taking the field only as a designated hitter, but with first base in his future, Devers failed to make his old team pay, going 0-for-5 at the plate in a 7-5 loss. He did receive a nice ovation before his first at-bat, though. Devers' hitless night wasn't for lack of balls in play. He managed to lift a ball to the left-field wall in the third inning, but was robbed of an extra-base hit by former teammate Ceddane Rafaela. Devers finished his night with his lone strikeout, swinging and missing at a 102-mph fastball from Aroldis Chapman. He is now 3-for-16 with one double four games into his Giants career. Devers met with reporters before the game to discuss the reunion, though he mostly indicated a desire to move on after a very public falling out with the Red Sox front office. Advertisement Devers was the longest-tenured player on the team and in the early years of a team-record 10-year, $313.5 million contract, but made his displeasure public in spring training when it became clear the Red Sox wanted to move him off third base in favor of new arrival Alex Bregman, a Gold Glover at the position. The matter appeared to settle when Devers agreed to transition to designated hitter — a potentially temporary move given that Bregman can opt out of his deal this winter — but the hurt feelings came back when the Red Sox asked if he could cover first base after a season-ending injury to Triston Casas. Devers declined, then said a lot of things to reporters you can't take back. Boston traded him a month later. Rafael Devers didn't want to play first base for the Red Sox. Or he didn't want to say "yes" after how they asked him. (Photo by Darren Yamashita/MLB Photos via Getty Images) (Darren Yamashita via Getty Images) Speaking on Friday, Devers didn't say much he hadn't already said during his introduction with the Giants, but he did make one notable claim, via NBC Sports Boston: 'I would say that I put some good numbers up in Boston, and I think that I do feel that I have earned some respect,' Devers told reporters through an interpreter at Oracle Park. 'If they would have asked me at the beginning of spring training, yes, I would have played.' Advertisement Obviously, the Red Sox weren't going to ask Devers to play first base while Casas was still healthy. However, those comments show how much further this dispute went beyond a simple position change. As the Red Sox brass indicated the day after the trade, the conflict ultimately came down to communication and personality. In the meantime, Devers has been taking grounders at first base since he arrived in San Francisco, but won't make his debut at the position this weekend.
